About our Emergency Services

At Clark Memorial Health, our Emergency Room (ER) team is staffed 24/7 with emergency providers, nurses and staff who are trained in providing emergency care. Our team combines advanced training with compassionate service to be ready for you or your family when you need it the most.

What to Expect in our ER

As a patient, you will be cared for by staff trained to respond to any type of medical emergency. We understand a visit to the ER can be a very stressful time; therefore, you should expect us to communicate with you and guide you through your situation. You should always ask questions if you do not understand.

Quality Emergency Care

We are the only chest pain certified hospital in southern Indiana. The national recognition we’ve earned demonstrates our staff’s commitment to providing the highest quality of care. Most of our heart attack patients experience opening of blocked arteries in less than 90 minutes, which is faster than the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology gold standards for treatment.

Clark Memorial received Chest Pain Center accreditation from the American College of Cardiology. We are dedicated to providing our patients with the best heart care treatment available. As an accredited facility, we use the newest methods and best practices in heart care to ensure that our patients receive:

Right care at the right time to minimize or eliminate heart damage due to heart attack

Timely and accurate diagnoses to reduce the disruption to your life and get you back home as soon as possible

Help and communication to better understand how to respond to your heart emergencies
